To realize health as a shared value and foster cross-sector collaboration and community well-being, AAHP has strategically cultivated meaningful partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including faith communities, universities, private organizations, and government agencies. These relationships are central to creating a sustainable network that not only expands the reach and scope of services but also strengthens the program’s ability to address the unique health needs of the African American community in Montgomery County. Through these collaborative efforts, AAHP ensures that its initiatives are both impactful and inclusive, delivering culturally tailored health promotion and education.

AAHP’s partnerships with national organizations such as the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the National Medical Association have been instrumental in providing cutting-edge tools, evidence-based resources, and critical expertise. These contributions have enriched AAHP’s arsenal, enabling the program to offer comprehensive, high-quality services to the community.

Local partnerships have been equally vital. Highly active Greek organizations, including Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity (Montgomery County Alumni Chapter), Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated (Montgomery County Alumnae Chapter), Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (Montgomery County Alumnae Chapter), and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (Theta Omega Omega Chapter), have played an essential role in amplifying AAHP’s initiatives. Their efforts to publicize events, recruit volunteers, and engage community members have significantly enhanced AAHP’s ability to reach more individuals and families.

Additionally, AAHP collaborates with numerous clinics and health centers across Montgomery County, such as Primary and Alternative Medical Care, Inc., Community Clinic, Inc., Muslim Community Center, and Metropolitan Cardiovascular Consultants, LLC. These partnerships ensure that AAHP’s services are integrated into the broader healthcare ecosystem, improving accessibility and creating a seamless continuum of care. Together, these relationships underscore the power of partnership in advancing health equity and promoting well-being across the community.
